Hi Darien,
Sometimes try a quick push to the middle or corners as a surprise and then get ready to attack the next ball. If you do the surprise push well, he will either just push it back to you or make a soft attack that you an counter.
If you are winning a greater percentage of points in the push battle then you should keep playing with that strategy.
